<P>Hello,&nbsp; I have used my Spotlight cam to observe my back door on a patio.&nbsp; It seems to work great except for one significant issue.&nbsp; There are many times that I would like to turn off the motion and video features all together while I have a patio party for example..&nbsp; Also, I sit on my patio everyday to enjoy my back yard and I am always being recorded.&nbsp; This is a problem for me.&nbsp; The only way I have been able to accomplish this is to get my ladder and pull the battery.&nbsp; This pretty much makes my cam useless for practival use.&nbsp; Therefore, I request that the development team add the ability to choose either or both motion and recording as options to suspend using snooze.&nbsp; Then I could not only defeat the motion notiifications, but I could also defeat recordings.&nbsp; This is prudent in many ways:&nbsp; first, it will allow my battery to last more than a month,&nbsp; second, it will save enermous amount of space on the recording server and internet bandwidth, and lastly, it will reduce the ridiculus amount of email notificaitons I receive.&nbsp; It would be similiar to conserving water or electricity.&nbsp; It will make this device more ECO friendly.&nbsp; Thanks</P>Sun, 28 Jul 2019 22:45:56 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1367#M151BeSafe2019-07-28T22:45:56ZFeature request: Different active detection zones based on schedulehttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1379#M152

<P>As someone who is using the indoor stick up cameras it's&nbsp; very disappointing to me that there isn't an easy way to only record when I'm away. Competitors do this with geofencing via your phone (one option). However I've also got a full Ring Protect security system that seems to have zero (or near zero?) integrations with the camera...? Why can't I set the camera to only be on when I'm away in the security system? There's also IFTTT/Alexa integrations, but they are shallow enough that they don't support functionality which would let me solve this problem there either...</P>Sun, 04 Aug 2019 01:20:55 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1518#M165SynVisions2019-08-04T01:20:55ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1519#M166

As I said in my post, the Light Schedule has not been working properly. My Floodlight Cam will sometimes ignore the Light Schedule and not turn on or off according to schedule and will sometimes turn on and off at seemingly random times.<BR /><BR />There are a handful of us that have opened a trouble ticket and have a couple of threads open discussing this. The only thing we've been told it's that they know about the issue and they're working on this issue. But it's been going on for a couple of months now.

<P>I'll be honest, I'm really not liking the camera system. First off, I have the security system but Ring doesn't tie in. If my alarm goes off, or entry is detected, it should start recording.&nbsp;</P><P>The 30 second recording is a joke. It'll record me for 30 seconds but suddenly stop. If I were a criminal, I would just have to set the camera off for 30 seconds and then I can commit crimes because it never records again for about two minutes. What a joke! Not that it matters since the sensitivity&nbsp;settings are an absolute joke. I have to visualize in my head where it's trying to record, but it takes me weeks to get it set right. Even then, I get bombarded with false positives alerts. Most of the time it's nothing. And that's with the sensitivity set to light.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Even though I installed outside AP's for the cameras and they all have really good signal, I still get the "black screen" when connecting (and it's remarkably slow, even on local wifi with a 1gbps backend). I have a combination of Unifi APs and Synology router, so no, it's not a local wifi issue.&nbsp;</P><P>I think my biggest issues are:</P><UL><LI>30 second recording</LI><LI>Not recording for a few minutes after recording for 30 seconds, I can literally wave my hands in front of it</LI><LI>Sensitivity settings are a complete joke/disaster</LI><LI>No way to see where I'm actually setting the zones, since it's just a poorly designed graphic</LI><LI>Mic/Audio feedback is an absolute joke - I get mostly static and people can't hear me at all on any of my 3 cameras&nbsp;</LI><LI>2 hour snooze? really? And i can't snooze it two times to make it 4 hours? Really?

<P><SPAN>Thanks for sharing your experiences. I wanted to remind everyone, this is a feature request thread for new features that can be implemented to improve our devices for everyone. Our battery devices function in a way that is common for streaming battery devices in the industry, in which there are battery preservation settings that can be turned off, such as smart alerts. </SPAN></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><SPAN>If a battery powered device is not fitting your needs or environment, this is what we have powered devices for. They natually allow for much more customization and robust operation, due to having constant power resources. Some of these concerns listed can certainly be resolved with our support team who will know just how to tailor these to your environment.</SPAN></P>Wed, 14 Aug 2019 20:09:59 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1759#M212Marley_Ring2019-08-14T20:09:59ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1771#M215

<P>Hi there!<BR /><BR /></P><P>I would like to make two suggestions for the ring spotlight cams or any other rings this may pertain to via the phone app.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>My first suggestion would be to add a feature where we can actually set the exact time frame we would like the lights to come on when motion activated instead of just when it gets dark. For example, I don't want the lights to activate with motion starting at 9pm when it gets dark, but only between 1am-4am.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>My second suggestion is a way to be able to select a day from a calendar or utilize a search option so you can refer back to previous dates recordings. It is so difficult to have to scroll back through so many days of recordings if you need to look back for something. For example, it's Saturday and your neighbor tells you that their car was accessed on the previous Tuesday night and you need to look back to see if your camera caught anything.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />I really like your ring product so keep up the good work. Thank you for considering our suggestions!</P>Thu, 15 Aug 2019 20:10:31 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1787#M224Dragon172019-08-15T20:10:31ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1835#M228
<P>In general I'm very satisfied with my two ring floodlight cams.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I miss a feature that is present in my two "Blink" cameras, and that is the possibility to disarm all cameras in the system with one click. &nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>At the moment with Ring I can disable motion <U>notifications</U> in the app but the system is still armed and my wife will continue to get the notifications unless she also switches them off in her app. This means that once I have three cameras and a ring doorbell installed, we shall have to block notifications 8 times every time one of us gets home: switching it off for cameras one by one, and on both mobile devices. A schedule is of little use to us as there is no fixed pattern to when we are at home.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So my request is simple: as with the Blink cameras, one switch in the app that disarms the whole system for all users.&nbsp;</P>Sun, 18 Aug 2019 19:35:30 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1835#M228NTMJ2019-08-18T19:35:30ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/1856#M233
<P>Much like the request in the post above, we have 1 x ring door bell and 3 x battery cams around the house and all work well. When we are all home I just want to turn off notifications (apart from an actual "ring" alert from the doorbell).

Hi, I have the powered spotlight cam at the front of my house. In the mornings the sun is shinning at the front. When someone walks past, the sun casts a shadow of the person, which sets of the cameras. I am sure the clever developers at Ring must be able to code an algorithm for detecting shadows? I don’t want to compromise the alarm by reducing the area it detects.<BR /><BR />Also in the Ring app when deleting the events, I don’t think you need to make the screen blank with the pop up message appears. Just make the pop up message appear over the top of the events. But this is very minor.Sun, 01 Sep 2019 08:51:05 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2039#M259Ring_Cam_Fan2019-09-01T08:51:05ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2048#M261
<P>The Ring Doorbell 2 is loaded with ring chimes, but there aren't so many for the basic Ring Chime doorbell.&nbsp; I don't need the Ring Pro Doorbell Extender as I have good wifi coverage all over my house for all my cameras and doorbell.

<P>I second this request.&nbsp; I wrote in length in another post and agree that we need to be able to control when the camera's are active and inactive.&nbsp; Please consider giving us the ability to use them like other alarm modules (Home/Away) and record when we are away. &nbsp; Will help with battery life.</P>Fri, 20 Sep 2019 18:28:06 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2404#M308LarryB2019-09-20T18:28:06ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2405#M309
<P>I would think that the feature of being able to turn the cameras off and on would be a top priority for Ring. Just think of all the data storage space they could save. I know they have been storing 2 hours of me mowing my lawn every week. If only half of their users could turn off their cameras for only 15 minutes each week, they could save quite a bit.</P>Fri, 20 Sep 2019 19:30:53 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2405#M309YK20002019-09-20T19:30:53ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2434#M311
<P>1. Motion Scheduling (more like Motion Block Notification) should ask what motion zone (all or specific zone selected) the rule applies to.</P><P>This is important, because I may want to block out my custom "Street" zone at certain times, or my custom "Sidewalk" zone at other times.&nbsp; But I may never want to block my "Driveway" zone from sending notifications.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2.&nbsp; A "Short Chirp" sound or other quick Alert Tone would be nice.&nbsp; This "Chirp" could then be tied into motion rules when a zone is tripped.&nbsp; So, for example, burglar starts approaching home at 1am... camera spots motion and sends a quick 2 second "Chirp" to scare off intruder before they even consider getting any closer.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>3. Option to turn off Blue Light on Camera.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P>Sun, 22 Sep 2019 06:56:17 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2434#M311DougI2019-09-22T06:56:17ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2453#M315
I would really like the ability to dim the floodlight cams lights.<BR /><BR />On one of my floodlights that we have on all night the angle that I need the light positioned and the fact that there is a slope leading up to it causes it to be a blinding light in people’s eyes when coming up our driveway.<BR /><BR />If there were a way to dim the lights that are on because of a schedule that would be really helpful for those of us that need to run the lights all night and find your required led lights to be too bright. Plus it would save energy.<BR /><BR />A lot of the times people put up a floodlight cam it’s to replace a existing always on dusk to dawn floodlight that before we went SMART with the ring floodlight we could easily change the bulb to adjust the brightness and that’s not possible with the ring floodlights. I assume I would void the warranty if I replaced the light fixture with a traditional light bulb socket that would allow me to change to dimmer bulb. This really should be a option if you don’t allow dimming. Or in the alternative sell a ring floodlight without the required led fixture installed allowing us to customize ones lighting options.<BR /><BR />Thank you in advance for any consideration you give to this thought.Tue, 24 Sep 2019 09:38:17 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2453#M315Socrates992019-09-24T09:38:17ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2462#M316
<P>1) There should be a setting to disable the infrared lights so the camera can be placed behind glass. &nbsp;At night the camera becomes useless if behind glass because the IR just reflects.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2) There should be a setting &nbsp;to rotate the image. &nbsp;I have monted one of my cameras sideways in order to fit in a specific location. &nbsp;Upside down, sideways, backwards . . &nbsp;. image rotation.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1 &amp; 2 above are done by just about every camera manufacturer out there. &nbsp;I am surprised they were not in the first release.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>3) The pause setting should allow you to stop recording, not just notifications. &nbsp;Privacy matters. &nbsp;Make it an option. &nbsp;And allow us to turn it off until we turn it on again, not just a few hours at a time, as an option.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>4) Integrate with Ring Alarm. &nbsp;Let the alarm siren also sound on the cameras, let the cameras record based on the alarm mode (only when away for example), let the camera motion set off a chime in the alarm (just like the window or door chime) so we instantly know without carrying a phone around the house. &nbsp;Those are the obvious ones that come to mind.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>OK, having said all that . . . I like the POE sitck up cam. &nbsp;POE is a must, image and sound quality is good, setup is super easy. &nbsp;The motion detection is sophisticated and better than any other camera I have used..</P>Tue, 24 Sep 2019 22:56:40 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2462#M316Brad2019-09-24T22:56:40ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2487#M324
<P>After seeing the release of the two new cameras and the one being for indoor only I realy hope there will be a way to disable the camera in the very near future.&nbsp; I would get one or two of the indoor camera's, but not unless you are able to disable them.&nbsp; If they can be disabled via Geofencing that would be best.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>Thu, 26 Sep 2019 02:33:26 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2487#M324veener792019-09-26T02:33:26ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2493#M325
<P>It has potential but get the basics right.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1. Time limited recordings - seriously. If you have movement, DONT STOP RECORDING!!!! The time out should stop AFTER the LAST movement detection. NOT DURING. Wow!! Big fail!! Why should you have to live view to record everything??</P><P>2. If the unit stops recording for any reason (in the current case time outs) and there is a new motion detected THEN START RECORDING AGAIN IMMEDIATELY! Why would you wait? Someone has a serious fettish with time outs.</P><P>3. Add an option during live viewing to record. You have a camera, why can i not tell it to record or not. Just because you live view doesnt mean you want it to record. You could save lots of storage space.</P><P>4. Can you even snap a photo during live view? Or snap a photo during watching a recording?</P><P>5. The Windows App - I have it running on my desktop so I can view what is going on at any time but it times out! Why? Like above, just want to view what is going on around premesis, just record if there is movement or I click the record button.</P><P>6. Allow viewing of multi cameras, not just one camera</P><P>7. add live view to the Web Browser.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>To put the above in perspective, I had the camera on the drive, it recorded 1.06 mins and cut out as the person put something in the boot. Didnt show what they did after that or the car even leaving right in front on the camera!!! And it was not sensitivity settings - it was the poor design to limit recordings to time rather than actual activity happening.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>There are other features I can think of to add but these are what I would call basics. Not recording because a time out has been reached is just plain dumb!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am testing with one camera - just purchased - not impressed, wont be purchasing the other 3 I need unless this gets fixed as it is not fit for purpose if it does not record ALL motion for the full length of the activity in progress. Please fix this asap and can you provide an ETA?</P>Thu, 26 Sep 2019 09:06:12 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2493#M325CypherHB2019-09-26T09:06:12ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2495#M327
<P>Amazon Fire TV App for camera viewing. &nbsp;It would be nice to have a TV app that would let you continually monitor all your cameras. &nbsp;Like on most NVR based camera systems, where you can watch 4 or 8 cameras on a monitor. &nbsp;One easy way to do this with the Ring cameras would be with a Fire TV app using your LAN. &nbsp;No external bandwidth needed.</P>Thu, 26 Sep 2019 11:24:20 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2495#M327Brad2019-09-26T11:24:20ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2498#M328
<P>The timeout recording limitation renders&nbsp;this security camera basically useless. &nbsp;I have seen many posts on the “Neighbors” site where a crime may have been committed but the camera stopped recording and never actually recorded the crime!

<P>I'm reposting here what I posted on Reddit earlier today, since someone pointed me to the Ring Community forum.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I'm trying to move away from the Nest Ecosystem, but man, Ring is making it tough without some basic quality of life features.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I'm really unhappy with changes Google/Nest have made lately with their API and recording indicators. I have 4 cameras (2 indoor, 2 outdoor), all with Nest Aware.

The motion recordings do seem like they're catching things very well, however.

Make it so we can tell at a glance of the phone if something requires more attention.

I do not want to be recorded in my own house</P><P>- And/of the ability to turn the cameras off on a schedule.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I also wish the apps would know the cameras power source and treat them accordingly -i.e. longer recording times for hardwired devices.</P>Fri, 04 Oct 2019 13:54:32 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2684#M355yonah2019-10-04T13:54:32ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2687#M356

<P>Hello,</P><P>I would love to be able to set multiple zones for my outdoor flood spotlight camera AND then designate which zone I would like to monitor for sound.&nbsp; As it is now, I turn off all volumne at night on the camera and record only as I dont want to be woken up multiple times during the night by cars on the street or people walking by on the sidewalk.&nbsp; I would like to set a separate zone closed in tight on my kids' cars, and another zone of the area beyond, but only choose to hear the chime on the specific zone that I chose.&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR />Please!!!&nbsp;</P><P><BR />Thank you,</P><P>Debbie</P>Sat, 05 Oct 2019 15:24:31 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2706#M358Debbie2019-10-05T15:24:31ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2735#M365
<P>Update - This from support:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>In regards with your concern, we are currently looking up into this option to be added in the near future, this means that it will be now the device owner's discretion if they want to have a longer duration of recordings or a shorter one once the device starts recording. The main reason why we set it up this way for now is mainly because we want to make sure that the battery operated devices will not drain fast as well as you can save data charges if you're accessing the videos in mobile data.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Watch this space, let's hope 'near future' means... well near!</P>Mon, 07 Oct 2019 11:14:07 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2735#M365CypherHB2019-10-07T11:14:07ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2743#M367
<P>Thanks for passing that info along. &nbsp;It would be better if Ring support actually posted it themselves here in the forum.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />I hope that they set this up so that we can control the time that the recording continues "after motion has stopped". &nbsp;If it is set up where we can only select a time from when motion starts it becomes ineffective and wasteful of data. If I were only able to select 1, 3 or 5 minutes and I chose 1 minute, then I would not be able to capture a crime that takes longer than 1 minute. &nbsp;If I select 5 minutes and a bird lands on my driveway, I would get a 5 minute recording of nothing. &nbsp;This is how it is set up now with my Wired Floodlight cam. &nbsp;I get multiple 1 minute videos every time the motion is triggered. &nbsp;</P>Mon, 07 Oct 2019 14:33:11 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2743#M367YK20002019-10-07T14:33:11ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2751#M368
<P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I, along with a host of other Ring customers, would love to see&nbsp;<SPAN>the ability to "name" a device, and have the verbal alert in the app be able to use that name or perhaps just add a far more robust list of pre-programmed alert names to differentiate devices. For example, I have 3 separate Battery/Solar powered Spotlight cams at different points on my property, but when alerted of motion, the app does not give me the specific location, which is kind of important if someone is trying to break in. Instead, it just states motion detected by Spotlight Cam or something lime that...yet, via Alexa integration, my Echo Device will state the actual name I programmed for a particular camera. &nbsp;The last thing you want to do is fumble with the app trying to go through 7 different cameras before acting. I know you can play different sounds to identify which device, but it would be much more helpful to add 20 specific name choices like: Front Porch Cam, Side Yard Cam, Back Yard Cam, Pool Cam, etc.</SPAN></P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">&nbsp;</P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">Also, when viewing the dashboard, I’ve noticed that only the hard-wired cameras update more frequently, whereas you must update the battery-operated cameras manually by entering them. Ring should add a global refresh button to the dashboard so a person can monitor ALL in real time, at will. I understand the battery life issue for those without the solar panel, but with the solar panel, my battery barely moves off of 100%, so I feel confident that my devices could support my request. &nbsp;Even just offering the option would be a huge help.</P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">&nbsp;</P><P class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">Please consider a refresh button next to the global system snooze button. &nbsp;Ideally, one could designate how often to refresh the cameras in the settings. &nbsp;Would be great to have a real-time dashboard viewing option for the entire system too.</P>Mon, 07 Oct 2019 16:56:44 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2751#M368mcorliss34562019-10-07T16:56:44ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/2760#M370

I would like to request that the lighting schedule be automatically controlled by sunrise and sunset times based on location. I hate having to adjust the times periodically as the seasons change. I like my light to turn on and off everyday when it is dark. Sometimes I don’t immediately realize that I need to adjust the time and I will have periods where the light is not on when it’s dark outside. I have some other automatic light switches in my house that have this option and the Philips Hue app also does this.

<P>Enhancement request: &nbsp; Many competitor cameras have a 30 second look back feature from when the camera detects motion. &nbsp;</P>Wed, 30 Oct 2019 15:39:46 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4385#M716TJC482019-10-30T15:39:46ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4495#M735
<P>Please tighten up the camera sensitivity/motion detection.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have all my cameras set on people only which is the lowest sensititity and all day long I get notifications from&nbsp; neighborhood dogs or cats.&nbsp; &nbsp;It is just a matter of time until I snooze a true notification thinking it is a animal.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Other camera brands (will not mention any names) will distinguish between people, cars, and animals so you can turn on and off the notifications you want.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>Thu, 31 Oct 2019 12:10:45 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4495#M735TJWrangler062019-10-31T12:10:45ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4498#M736
<P>I have the same problem (which I commented on).&nbsp; As you said other cameras allow for this customization.&nbsp; Basically, I don't want to be alerted when something the size of a bread box walks in view of the camera (to include hornets in front of the lens).&nbsp; I have the spotlight camera and it only allows reducing sensitivity, but I don't think this is the same as eliminating entire classes of motion (small animals, cars, trucks, flowers, trees etc).&nbsp; All of which should result in an entirely different signature when it comes to motion detection.&nbsp; Personally, I only want to know when a person is in field of view.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>Thu, 31 Oct 2019 12:22:23 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4498#M736Mike_V2019-10-31T12:22:23ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4528#M744
<P>Motion detection zones with different properties -&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>My use case would be -</P><P>Detection zone 1 - record and send notification (within garden area)</P><P>Detection zone 2 - record without sending notification (footpath in front of garden area)</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>This would enable me to capture people passing (we have had some damage to cars parked outside) but not get notifications everytime somebody walks past.&nbsp;</P>Thu, 31 Oct 2019 16:12:42 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4528#M744NickM2019-10-31T16:12:42ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4804#M799
<P>I don't have one yet so I don't know the features... but I do know that I love my doorbells and the only thing that is preventing me from buying the cam is the fact that they must be plugged in.&nbsp; I wish they could be battery operated like the doorbells!!!&nbsp; At least offer one that is available with a battery for those of us who don't want cords running along the walls!!!</P>Mon, 04 Nov 2019 01:56:22 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4804#M799slhansen2192019-11-04T01:56:22ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4805#M800

They have stick up cams and spotlight cams that are battery.

<P>1. The ability to have the cameras and motion sensors be atuned to your location data on your phone thru the ring app etc like Nest does with their cameras. &nbsp;I would like to be able to have some of my cameras remain on and watching for motion while keeping others off like the ones inside my home. &nbsp;Setting them up with just a turn on/off motion during these times of the day/week is not sufficient enough. &nbsp;I don't want to have to go into the app to do this every time I come home. &nbsp;I want it to occur automatically.&nbsp;</P>Mon, 04 Nov 2019 22:00:38 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/4896#M812JBernhard2019-11-04T22:00:38ZRe: Security Cams Feature - Indoor Cam longer power cordhttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/5140#M874
<P>I just installed a pair of new Indoor Cams; found that the power cord is rather short. &nbsp;</P><P>One Cam replaced a Nest Indoor cam; &nbsp;the Nest cam had a power cord about 10 feet long, but the Ring Indoor Cam is only about 6 feet, so it was difficult to locate the Ring Cam in the same place using the stock power cord (I was able to use the Nest power cord to reach the same location). &nbsp;</P><P>Another Indoor Cam placed in the garage needed an extension cord to be able to reach to a location to "see" above vehicles.</P>Wed, 06 Nov 2019 23:01:38 GMThttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/5140#M874LFL222019-11-06T23:01:38ZRe: Security Cams Feature Requesthttps://community.ring.com/t5/Security-Cams/Security-Cams-Feature-Request/m-p/5256#M900
